Create Saved Schedule - Add Classes from Course Section Report - Edit Saved Schedule for Students

Workday Logo

Overview of Process

Students can create a Saved Schedule in Workday to plan out the course sections they intend to register for in the upcoming semester; these can only be created once the semester schedule is available. Students can register directly from their Saved Schedule, saving time once their registration window opens.  All Bowdoin students will be required to create at least one saved schedule with their advisor before the advisor hold will be lifted; if the student does not do this, they will not be able to register. Best practice is to create a primary saved schedule, and then, with your advisor’s help, plan potential substitute schedules in case a course in your primary saved schedule is not available in your registration.
